Grounding and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
It is essential to properly ground the AP unit to protect it from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical
damage and possible electric hazard. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage, human injury or
even death.
Product warranty does not cover any damages resulting in part or in whole from improper grounding.
Figure 11-1 AX500 Chassis Grounding
An external ground wire must be installed. Use size 10 AWG ground wire (not included) and attach it to the
chassis using the provided ground screw. Connect the other end of ground wire to a reliable earth ground
point at site. Please consult premises’ electrical engineers and follow local electrical codes and standards
for proper grounding.
In addition, site engineers should always be grounded by wearing proper ESD grounding straps connected
to the site earth ground point during equipment installation, maintenance and repairs.
Note:
ESD can damage electronic components and cause latent damage that results in
premature failure even if components remain functional.
